Penalty shootout

In their next soccer game after this one, the team had another penalty shoot-out. The results had a mean of 3, a median of 3.5, a mode of 4, and a range of 4. (Note: there does not necessarily have to be the same number of players or the same number of shots as the last time.)

Create a possible bar chart of the scores (possible because there is more than one correct way to do this).

I couldn't figure out how to get the frequency on the y axis of the graph so I put this ^ hereI basically got my answer by trial and error I just tried to fined a number that all the others added to and that i could divide by six to get the right mean. I did that same method for the rest of the set values.
